NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order
on Friday to create a master plan for aging aimed at addressing issues faced
by older New Yorkers.
November 4, 2022
4:44 pm The executive order formed a Master Plan for Aging Council that will be
chaired by Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett and vice-chaired by Aging
Director Greg Olsen. Other council members will be selected from relevant
state agencies.

The council will assemble a stakeholder committee of health care workers,

older adults and informal caregivers who, together with the council, will
decide what initiatives to focus on.

"New York State has a long history of supporting a broad array of long-term
care services and supports, and I want to applaud Governor Hochul for
building upon that legacy with the State's first Master Plan for Aging,” said
Bassett. “The work of our department's recently created Office of Aging and
Long-Term Care will be guided by Governor Hochul's vision of a long term
care system that is accessible, effective, and affordable, a system that will
recognize the unique needs and expectations of each of the individuals it
serves."

Hochul said the executive order is an attempt to build upon New York’s status
as the first state in the nation to receive the AARP’s age-friendly designation,
which it earned in 2017.

The designation takes into account a number of livability and accessibility

standards like transportation, housing and social participation.

"As the first age-friendly state in the nation, we continue to take important
steps to empower and support older New Yorkers," said Hochul. "This Master
Plan for Aging will provide us with tools to ensure our aging New Yorkers have
access to quality long term care in healthy, livable communities where they
can thrive."

New York has the fourth-largest population of older adults in the U.S., with
3.2 million New Yorkers — about 16% of the population — above the age of
60.

That number is projected to grow to 5.3 million by 2030, according to the

governor’s office.
